A Day in the Life: Bronica

Meet Bronica!

Bronica Sung, age 5, is a kindergartner at CASA Academy. Bronica moved to this country as a Burmese refugee. Her favorite thing about CASA Academy is the guided reading group that she has with her teacher!

7:35 AM: Bronica’s bus arrives at CASA. Bronica is greeted by her principal and her teacher. After handing in her homework, Bronica heads into her classroom to eat breakfast.

7:55 AM: Bronica’s classroom, ASU, starts the day by learning how to make eye contact when greeting one another. ASU practices their “college chant” in preparation for their school-wide assembly on Friday.

8:20 AM: During calendar math review, ASU counts how many days they have been in school; today is the 35th day! Bronica sings chants to identify the current month, day and year.

8:50 AM: It’s the first recess of the day, as Bronica heads out for a game of tag.

1:45-2:55 PM: During the Daily 5 block, Ms. Lowry instructs ASU on how to use one’s finger when reading. Bronica works with her teacher in a small group, then moves to the carpet to listen to a book on tape.

2:55- 3:20 PM: ASU gathers together for Community Circle as they end their day.

3:20 PM: Time to go home! Bronica boards the bus to head home to her family.
